In lung tuberculosis, 
In skin necrobiosis, 
How you squirm! 
While gonorrheeal burning 
Is caused by sporules turning, 
Some affirm. 
’Tis said a crypto-cocus 
Will very often choke us, 
If we fail 
To drop the acid phenic— 
Which is antisepticemic— 
On its tail. 
Frier says in fever yellow 
He finds a little fellow 
Breeding pest. 
Gregg swears, do what he will, he 
Sees nothing but fibrilli, 
By his test. 
In atmosphere mephitic, 
In poison diphtheritie, 
How you revel! 
In earth and air and ocean 
You Keep disease in motion, 
Like a devil. 
But, bacillus, oh! bacillus, 
You try in vain to kill us, 
Yet we thrive. 
And though you try to blind us, 
Next year I hope you’ll find us 
Quite alive. —Hahn. Monthly. 
Mr. C. Fasoldt has just completed a number of the Standard 
Centimeters, by the request of R. H. Ward, of Troy, N. Y. 
In all our dealing with Messrs. Tammen & Co., of Denver, 
Colorado, we have invariably received more for our money than 
we had any reason to expect. Notice their offer of Kaolinite 
crystals; and especially their offer of 20 cabinet specimens for 
a dollar. Their catalogue is a marvel of curiosities, illustrated 
and described.
